Is it possible..?

I think my friend lost disk 1 of Season 1 of the Sopranos, and Disk 3 of Season 2.

Is it possible to get these disks alone..???

Sometimes you could find these on eBay, or at rental stores when they have their previosuly-viewed sales.

You might ask HBO Video as well.

I just spoke to HBO, they said you can't buy just the individual DVDs, just the whole Seasons.

I spoke to the HBO store and the Consumer Affairs Office.

Now what?

I have seen individual Soprano disks for sale in the Previously Veiwed section at Blockbuster. Call around. They do not sell the seasons (previously veiwed) as a box set, only individually.

I checked around my area, (Toronto, Canada) they don't have any remember these ones are around 2 years old now, and they blockbusters just carry 1 or 2 sets for rent now and they don't sell them.

Any other Ideas guys...?

You could buy a new set and ebay the individual disks from the old set. Maybe someone else needs on one disc from this set.

Just take a box cutter to Wal-Mart, visit the DVD section when it's quiet... and.....

you know....

Of course, not only will you be shoplifting and such, since you're using a boxcutter, you'll be a terrorist and be sure to be sent on a lovely vacation to a bay resort in Cuba.
